The Minnesota Wild have a tough road game Monday traveling to Las Vegas to take on the Golden Knights. Vegas continues their impressive home ice advantage with a 16-4-2 record at T-Mobile this season. Minnesota on the other hand is a mediocre 11-12 away from St. Paul.

Minnesota Wild

The Wild are 3-3 over their last 6, but five of those games have been played in the comfort of their own stadium. The Wild were ran up on in their last road contest, a 4-7 loss to the Flyers where Minnesota was a -121 favorite. Home or away, Minnesota needs to find some offense as they’ve been held to 2 goals or less in 6 of the last 8.

Monday’s contest is shaping up to be a low scoring affair as long as Devan Dubnyk can get back in his groove in net. Dubnyk has stopped 34 of the last 35 shots he’s faced over two appearances. The two games prior however, he gave up 10 goals total.

Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas is a heavy favorite Monday as they look to get back into the winning groove. The Golden Knights have gone 2-2 over their last four following a 7-game winning streak. The Golden Knights put up 7 goals vs. the Penguins on Saturday their third game with 4+ in the last five.

Vegas won’t need a lot of scoring if Marc-Andre Fleury if he can continue his 7-2 run over his last 9 starts. Fleury has allowed two goals or less in 6 of his last 9 starts and should continue that success on his own ice.

Free Minnesota Wild vs. Vegas Golden Knights NHL Prediction:

There’s not a whole lot of value on Minnesota 150 considering they’re a) on the road b) have struggled on offense and c) have seen up and down goaltending from Dubnyk lately. The Golden Knights have a hefty price tag, but they’re the better wager in this one.
